In a few hours our family will arrive, and we look forward to hosting and doing a lot of what we love together. There is sure to be lots of cooking including these cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, mushroom ragu with polenta, jamie oliver’s lasagna, broccoli kale salad, and of course a birthday cake (the benefit of a Christmas eve birthday). Also, we will break out our cheese making supplies for the third time and make mozzarella with everyone. Hopefully I’ll return with some photos and a few blog posts to share.

Wish you joy and peace, hope and love this holiday season!
